CORDELE ELECTRIC COMPANY
LIGHTS ELECTRIC FLAG
As Regent, in behalf of_lf‘tl Early
chapter D. A. R., I wish to pubiicly
thank the Cordele Electric company
for its splendid co-operation and sup
port in aiding the chapter in its pur
chase of the electric flag presented
to the city, and its generosity now in
consenting to light the flag for' the
D. A. R, free of charge. This means
much, When the D. A. R. conceived
the idea of installing the flag, the city
fathers agreed to light it during their
administration, but plainly told us
their successors would have the priv
ilege and right to annual their action
in the matter if they saw fit. We ac
cepted the courtesy and co-operation
of the present city administration and
installed the flag, expecting to peti
‘tion *future town' ‘authorities to' keep
the flag lighted, But the Cordele Elec
tric Company comes to our rescue and
offers to light the’ flag for the chapter
free of charge, thereby relieving us of
all embarassment concerning the mat
ter. We deeply appreciate this action
on the part of the Cordele Electric
company. It is not only a great favor
te the chapter, but to the city of Cor
dele as well, for now that the city
fathers are relieved of all expense in
lighting the flag, they will take steps
iminediately to place the flag on the
top of the court house dome. Fort
Early Chapter thanks the Cordele Elec
tric company for its willingness to co
operate with it in its efforts to pro
mote progress and “enterprise in our
little city. MRS. ESPY, Regent.

Montezuma took both games of a
‘double header from Fitzgerald Tues
day. Stevens pitched the first 'game
for them, opposing Lariscy, and Hunt
Hurled the last, opposing Milligan.
The first game was copped by a score
of 5 to 0 and the second 4 to 1.
se s s
All available strength is being mus
tered for the games between Cordele
and Fitzgerald duriab the South Geor
gia Log Rolling. The two clubs are
reserving their best pitchers for these
games and otherwise . strengthening
the positions on the team. One of the
best umpires in the league will be pro
vided for these games. Cordele has
lost continuously for several games,
and Henderson and his team-mates
will make a desperate effort to reverse
maters in these games. Fitzgerald has
augmented its team with several new
players and promises to interest Cor
dele thoroughly.
The grounds have been placed in
especially good condition for the games
and improvements have been made on
the grand stand and bleachers. An éf
fort will be made to seat every fan in
attendance upon the games.
